A HAUNTED Hurst Mansion?
June 9, 2008 by atorturedsoul
I would again like to stress that this is private property and trespassers will be prosecuted. The owner caught four youngsters attempting to enter the house and after leaving for the night someone broke a window and entered the house.
I would like to inform anyone thinking about trespassing that the owner of the property is periodically staying at a cabin not far from the house. He will occasionally be hiding out at Hurst House and apprehending those who attempt to gain entry.
If that isn’t enough to deter you, I have another big announcement from the owner himself. IF vandals will leave the property alone so part of the work needed can be completed, he will operate a Haunted House inside Hurst Mansion during the month of October. Proceeds will be used to complete much needed restoration. More information will be provided on this as the time nears.

[...] have ignored poor Uncle Fielding’s website of late to work on my autism sites, but I did see this a few week ago and wanted to comment on it. I would LOVE to visit the Hurst Mansion Haunted House, [...]
What’s the word on the haunted house? Still on?
I had to contact the owner to find out. Hadn’t talked to him in a while. He said he checked on insurance for the haunted house and it would be $1500 for just one week. This would make it a struggle just to recoup expenses so it’s a no go. Such a shame but I suppose it can’t be helped.
Well, crap. I’ll chip in $100.
I wish I had known beforehand that Wild 100.7 from Corinth was going to be doing a live remote in the area this week. I’m betting they might have helped out with the haunted house and certainly could have advertised it well enough to have the expenses covered.
im willing to help restore or help get funds to restore the mansion. I’m sure many in my family would as well
I have not spoken to the owner in some time as time is not something I have much of as of late. I’m certain you can catch him at the house on weekends.
